Patrick Bridges is forty-four and lives alone in a dingy bedsit. Despite working for minimum wage and being under the threat of eviction he still entertains dreams of being rich, believing that money can buy you anything, including love.

After a confrontation with his smug boss, Patrick loses his dead-end job and decides to drown his sorrows. A chance encounter with a homeless man named Larry gives Patrick the idea of stealing a lottery machine and playing it for free.

Patrick is determined to carry out the crazy plan but unfortunately it’s not as straightforward as he first believed. To achieve his goal he’s forced to take the local shopkeeper hostage. His dream of being rich soon turns into a nightmare when the disgruntled staff, local gangsters and the shopkeeper’s ex-girlfriend get involved. Just staying alive has become a lottery.

When Your Number’s Up is an action-packed, comedy heist caper with a gritty edge. The numerous twists and turns are guaranteed to leave readers guessing right up until the thrilling end.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
